THE horrific strip search of a black schoolgirl while she was on her period by Metropolitan Police officers has triggered angry protests demanding “police out of schools.”

The 15-year-old, known as Child Q, was subjected to the traumatic search while at her school in Hackney, east London, without an appropriate adult present in late 2020. 

A safeguarding inspection by the local council, released earlier this week, found that racism was a likely factor behind her treatment.
